Being in my kitchen’s like spending time on the Internet. I begin one place and end up in another. The recipe calls for 3 eggs and I decide it's too much and change it to 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white, then decide the cake needs to be cupcakes with poured fondant and embellishments. Not to be forgotten is the shopping that was done for one menu item that has suddenly taken on a life of its own; transforming the ingredients from a simple side salad to lettuce wrapped tuna or chicken salad with sliced tomatoes and cheese, so much for simple.
That said, cooking is a time warp if I'm not rushed. There's no telling what will happen once I enter the zone. Foods can from sweet to savory, simple to over the top. No matter what comes out of the kitchen it’ll taste wonderful, or you wouldn't know I was there. Experiments that fail would be thrown out and the kitchen would be cleaned so no one would be the wiser.
Maybe it's just an A.D.D.er in the kitchen. The T-shirt reads "They say I have A.D.D., but they just don't understand...oh look a chicken!" I can hatch a lot of chickens during my kitchen time… cluck, cluck, cluck.
